Summary

"This trial aims to see if adding certain elements of care to the standard treatment for first-episode psychosis will increase the number of clinic visits. Participants will either receive the standard care or the standard care with

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis, which could be related to conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Participants must be receiving care at specific clinics in Massachusetts and are excluded if they don't attend these clinics.
What is being tested?
The study compares standard coordinated specialty care (CSC) with an enhanced version (CSC 2.0), which adds individual peer support, digital outreach, extra care coordination, multi-family group therapy, and cognitive remediation to see if it increases clinic visits.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve additional support services rather than medications, traditional side effects are not a concern; however, participants may experience varying levels of comfort or emotional responses to the different types of therapies.
